British rock act We Are the Ocean have released a cover of “Hey Now,” originally by London Grammar. The band will release their version as a single on January 8, 2016 but you can give it a listen below now. (And in case you’re unfamiliar with the original version of the song, we’ve also embedded that.)

We Are the Ocean’s latest album, Ark, was released on May 11, 2015 through Hassle Records.

The video starts at the end of the story line, a bank heist has gone down with some hiccups on the way (like finding an angry girl in the boot of the car) but at the end, everything is sweet, cause the money’s in the bag…we spent the day working on the choreography and when the lighting was right we had 2 hours to get the final shot, it was pretty manic. I like that the video has Tarantino stylings with Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s vision.

Canadian hardcore act Cancer Bats have released a teaser video for their upcoming album, “Dead Set On Living,” and announced that the album should be released sometime in April, 2012 via Hassle Records.

It’s hard to classify the music of The James Cleaver Quintet under one specific genre and at best I guess I’d call them post-hardcore, though they classify themselves as “Weird-core.” In any case, your ears will do the explaining when you stream the band’s brand new, debut full-length album “That Was Then, This Is Now” right here.

Band Spotlight

Do you guys remember when Flogging Molly put out music that made you want to dance a jig and mosh at the same time? Fast and aggressive enough to satisfy your rebellious soul yet folky enough to provide a depth sometimes lacking in more traditional punk rock? Those were the days. And I thought they were over until I stumbled across The Killigans. Hailing from Lincoln, Nebraska of all places, this six-some channel folk-punk as if they were spawned from the back of a gypsy caravan in the heart of the Old Country. Playing together since 2004, how they escaped my notice until now is beyond me, but let's not dwell on that. What's important is that they just released a new full-length titled "Dance On Your Grave" and I'm here today to tell you it is well worth a listen. Do so here.
